There's:

https://buildfarm.postgresql.org/cgi-bin/show_log.pl?nm=narwhal&dt=2017-03-15%2005%3A00%3A01

I suspect that's because previously src/test/regress/GNUMakefile's
installcheck provided --bindir='$(bindir)', but
$pg_isolation_regress_installcheck) doesn't (and didn't before the
changes).

ISTM that the only reason that this previously didn't cause issues on
these machines is that neither actually *runs* any of the isolation
checks in other directories.  I.e. they'd have failed before this, too,
if they ran tests using pg_isolation_regress_installcheck.

To me it seems like an oversight in the previous definition of
pg_isolation_regress_installcheck.  Looks like that was introduced in
https://git.postgresql.org/gitweb/?p=postgresql.git;a=commit;h=dcae5faccab64776376d354decda0017c648bb53

Peter, I guess it wasn't intentional that you added --bindir to
pg_regress_installcheck but not pg_isolation_regress_installcheck?

Andres
